It's Never OK to Kill

With recent event in the middle east this topic has come to my mind. Israel is attacking and killing and trying to justify this by saying that it is for their own defence and to get their soldiers back. It is unfortunately that in our world today that people still feel the need for violence and that there are people who only understand violence. Peace is not something we have seen on the world as a whole since fighting was invented.

I honest believe that there is never a situation that it is OK to attack, hurt or kill someone. This includes not only physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When you realise the truth that any violent situation you find yourself in, you have drawn to yourself you will begin to see that the problem is not the other person, but in side yourself. If you deal with and heal the past life that has drawn the violence to you then the situation will defuse or will not effect you spiritually. Remember that death is not to be fear, it is a transition and the one that bring the possibility for true spiritual ascension.

I would like to close with one final comment. I am not Jewish but does not their bible teach that Moses came down off the mountain carrying two stones with the 10 commandments from God. Was not one of those commandments "thou shall not kill." There were not exceptions added to the commandment, it was just that simple "thou shall not kill."

Helping Others

In previous posts I have mentioned that you are the only person that can heal yourself of a past life or Karma. You must also keep this in mind when you feel the desire to help someone. The reality of the situation is that they are the only ones that can truly help them. This might sound a little cold and this is a concept I have fought with myself but there is no way around it. Regardless of what position the person is in or what has happened to them they are there because of their past life Karma. So how do you go about helping these people?

The first thing you have to look at is why you feel the need to help them. In most cases we are driven by guilt. Guilt from our past life actions. What you need to do is look into yourself and find the true reason you are driven to help this person. By clearing your past life you are actually helping this person far more than giving them money or sympathy.

If you can get past your own guilt, or even if you don't, the other thing that you can do to help this person is to ask the more advanced souls to help this person. After this you move on knowing that the spiritual help the person needs is there for them. If you you still feel the need to do more, look inside and ask yourself why.

It's not always easy

In my previous post I wrote about how you deal with your past lives. How you clear them or get a healing from the karma they have on you. Written down the process appears quite simple. After all it is just a list of steps. Reality however is completely different it takes a lot of time and practice to be able to clear past lives at will and even then is not all that easy. Our egos get involved. The effect of this is that when we get a past life it turns out to be more what you want it to be rather than what it is and thus is not cleared. There are also distractions.

This weekend I was sick. I recognized that the source was not a virus or something in this life, but the past life that drew that virus to me. So, I started my process of figuring out what I need to heal. The problem was that I was so physically distracted (pain and nauseous) that I couldn’t focus. I could not detach myself from the situation long enough to do what I need to do to figure out the past life involved.

It is important to understand that no matter how far down the road you are; sometime you encounter a situation that is a struggle for you. But, you keep on struggling, you learn and you heal. In the end you are spiritually stronger than when you started.

Past Lives - How to Deal with Them (a reply to M)

Hey M, I'm glad you posted your question and I will do my best to give you an answer.

The first thing to do is to look at my last couple of post, specifically Past Lives - How they Affect You?" In this post I describe how the events and situations of this life are controlled or drawn to us based on our past lives and karma. In drawing these situations to you, your higher self or soul is looking to give you an opportunity to heal the situation.

As I mentioned in the post the positive situations/emotions are not an issue (as I'm sure you would agree). We therefore start by looking at the negative emotions that you are feeling: isolation, fear, loneliness, and uncertainty, whatever the emotions are that you are feeling.

The next steps take some effort and practice and you may not get your healing right away, f you don't, I'm sad to say you have to start back at the beginning of the process (looking at your emotions).

Once you have identified what it is you are feeling, and then you must start to look inside. These feelings and the situation that caused them are not someone else’s fault. No one made you feel these things. You then separate yourself from the emotions, and recognize that these emotions are not yours but those of the past self. As you become skilled at this you will be able to identify the specifics of the past life.

The last step is to separate yourself from the past self. This is the most difficult piece and the hardest to explain. Many people I've talked to have different ways of visualising this. But what you are doing to completing your experience and releasing the past self.

If the situation does not clear there are two common reasons. First is that you have not cleared the past self, likely because you got the past life wrong. The second is that you are now being affected by a different past life; it is common for past lives to build on one another, so that many lives have had similar situations and emotions with them.

M, I hope this helps you out, if you need more detail or have specific question please let me know and I will focus on those areas.

Love and Light,
Terry

Past Lives - How they Affect You?

As I posted in previously, I believe that we have lived past lives and in those lives we have created negative, positive and neutral karma. We will ignore positive and neutral karma as they don't have an effect on us. It is how ever the many negative karma situations that we must worry about.

To understand how we can clear or heal our past karma we must understand how they affect us.

The events in our lives are drawn to us, whether they are "good" or "bad" based on the energy relationships (karma) we have with those situations and people. When we encounter a situation that brings out a past karma we transfigure. In transfiguring we become the past self. The past self then tries to play out the karma or situation as it knows (basically repeating the actions from the past life. In this way we are basically reading the script of our past lives. This is why many situations in our lives are repeated. We are being given the chance to deal with our karma from a past life, but until we do we follow the same script.

Follow the same script does not mean literally doing exactly what we did before, but it means we end up with the same energies and emotions in play. In a past life you may have argued with someone regarding the ownership of a horse and in this life it could be a car or something completely different. It is also important to know that in order to understand a situation we must experience both side. So the person that robs you may be someone you stole from in a past life.

When a past life replays it is not the specific action that are ultimately important but the energy and emotions of the parties involved. In a future post I will go over how to heal a past life/karma. But to get started I recommend that you watch your emotions. Watch for negative emotions (hate, jealousy, sadness) and actions (gossip, physical violence); recognize that these things are not emotions or actions that you desire.

Pandemic

Over the last while there has been a lot of discussion in the new regarding the Avian/Bird flu (H5N1) and a pandemic if the flu were to mutate to a human to human transmittable virus. Last night my wife and I had a discussion around this issue and some of what came out of that discussion I want to share here.

She asks, "Why are so many people worried about this?" My answer, "because over half of the people who have been infected with it have died." (115 Deaths in 205 cases, WHO).
She asks, "So that would mean that at least one of us would die? Does that no concern you?"My answer, "Not really."

So why don't I worry about a virus that possible could wipe out half the worlds population and could kill a lot of my family? Because I don't honestly thing it will. It's being watched very carefully and there is a lot of work going on to make sure it doesn't happen. Also it is not happening. I'm not one to worry until the event is on us.

That being said, my wife also asked if my beliefs had a part in my not worrying and they do. I know that dying is not a bad thing. Dying is just a transition and one I'm not scared of taking. If it was my family and not me that died would I not feel sad? Likely, but deep down I understand that they have continued their journey that the events that led to their deaths were part of a learning for them. I don't believe in mourning the dead. Mourning is for the living.

I also believe that all illnesses and other negative situations in our lives are caused on a spiritual/energetic level and not on the physical level. The reason you get sick is because of a spiritual lesson you need to learn, a karma you need to work our and a past life you need to release. If you are able to obtain you spiritual healing then the illnesses or situation will resolve itself in the manner that you spiritually require.

I believe that fear comes from the lack of knowledge and understanding. Fear comes from the unknown. A pandemic although may have unknown components to it, I know one a spiritual level where they come from and how to deal with them. There for no fear.

Even if you can not shine a physical light on something and understand it or tell how future events will unfold, if you shine your spiritual light on it, even though all the answer will not be there, you will understand and the fear will lift.

Spiritual understanding is the true source of understanding, the true way to remove fear from our lives and in the end the only understanding that matters.

What I Really Want

I had a reply recently regarding how to handle/deal with wants. In the specific case, I would guess it is a want that is having a large impact on the posters life. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to say that the want is a negative thing and to make the changes to move away from it but I think an explanation of where our wants come from will be useful.

A want is basically a physical object or an emotional state that we desire. In some cases we justify the want to ourselves and in others we can explain it. It is a just a deep down want that we have and don't know why. Most people will say that it's because of our society or our up bringing. You might be able to find "evidence" to support this but this is not the true cause of the want. In reality you drew those experiences to you to set up the want in this life.

I have talked briefly in the past about past lives and their impact on our current life. As you can probable see by the number of times it comes up that past lives are an important aspect of our spiritual growth and learning.

The source of wants is your past lives and karma. It might sound simple and in a way it is and in some ways it's not. We cannot want something in this life that we did not have and/or want in a previous life.

It is likely based on the number of lives we have lived that you have lived a life of privilege at some point. You would have had vast sums of money and were able to buy anything you wanted. In this life you don't have the endless resources, but your pastself is trying/wanting to live like they did previously.

Alternately, you might have been married or had a close relationship with someone, but in this life time that is not possible. You pastself would be use to having that person close, loving them and being loved by them. In this life they will strive to do the same. They will not understand the current situation or why they cannot have the love.

To deal with a want you must first recognize that it is negative to you. You must believe that the want is not good for you. Then you must realise that the want is not yours, as in it is not you in this current life that wants but the pastself. You then separate yourself from your pastself and let them go, must easier said then done.

If you are successful with the separation and release that pastself, it will no longer have a negative impact on your current life. Does that mean that your want will be gone? Not necessarily. We have many lives, and through these lives we add to our karma. If you do not clear all the past lives or get the source life time it is likely you will have to deal with that want again or a variation on it. But, it is important to understand the even though that want or situation maybe the same, the past life could be different.

Bad Thoughts

In my previous post I talked a little about what is Good and what is Bad. As I mentioned these topics are very complex. The "Good"/Positive and "Bad"/Negative can be related to many different spiritual concepts. Today I want to focus on our thoughts and what makes them Positive or Negative.

The first thing that you need to know is that if you think something you might as well say it, the impact to your spirit is the same. Despite what we've been told since child hood the "if you can't think of anything good to say, say nothing at all" does not protect us. That fact is that as soon as you think something the energy form around that thought is created: good or bad.

Our negative thoughts are one of the hardest things to control. Thoughts just seem to jump into our heads before we know what has happened. So, how do we protect ourselves from our own negative thoughts? After the fact there is little you can do about. Sooner or later the thought will come back to you and you'll be forced to deal with them. What you can do is when you have a negative thought, identify it as a negative and unacceptable thought. After a while of identifying thoughts as not acceptable the number of negative thoughts that you have will reduce. The only way to protect yourself from negative thoughts is to not have them.

The important thing to note here is that you can only deal with the negative thoughts that you identify as negative. The biggest negative thoughts are those that direct negative energy to other (thinking bad about people, regardless of how justified you think you are) and casting judgements (the fact is that most people are not in a position to truly understand where other people are).

An Energy Drain

I'm sure at some point in all our lives we meet a person that is a drain of our energy. Most of the time when we deal with this person we find ourselves with negative thoughts and low energy. As time goes on we can sometimes have these same effects with just the thought of having to deal with them.

In cases like this what do you do? Who's to blame? I'm sure anyone who's read my previous post can guess on what my answers are going to be.

First, who's to blame? The fact is that as soon as you start to assigning blame, like they make me feel this way or anything along that line you are enforcing the situation and getting further from resolving it.

I'm currently in a situation like this and for a while I was letting it go. Letting the situation drag me and my energy down. It wasn't until my wife pointed out that I was being negative about the person that I realised what I was doing. No matter how much progress we seem to make there are always those situations we get into that it takes someone else to point out that we are in a bad place.

In my case the person involved is a low energy obsessed person. I say that not to blame or to less my responsibilities it is just a statement of fact. The person also draws sub-astrals to them. These are their issue and not mine to solve and find fault in.

I job is to ensure that I don't let my thoughts and energy drop and allow the sub-astrals to attack me. Over the past little while I have not been doing this and now I am struggling to resolve my issues. I now recognize that I'm not doing the "right" thing. I also recognize that I have past karma to work out. I am working on both of these right now but making slow progress.

To make things hard, the person has requested a favour from me. My first response would be to deny the request, because of the situation. However, I now recognize the situation that I'm in and I question if the answer is truly my answer, the right answer, or the response of the low energy I'm now in and the past karma. I'm doing my best to over come the situation at hand and approach the new request objectively.

We must always be careful of our reactions to people. Is it a negative response? Is the response base on past karma? Only by dealing with our karma and looking past our negative energies can we find the right answer.

It's All Your Fault

How many times when something bad happens to use do we blame other people. We have become a society that doesn't want to take responsibility for anything. Spill a cup of coffee on yourself and get burned? It's not your fault the coffee shop made it too hot. Well guess what it is your fault. You know when you buy a coffee it will be hot. I would bet the same person would complain it's cold if it wasn't. But, the point of this is not to rant.

What we need to understand is that we are responsible for what we do, happens to us and how we respond. This is regardless of what happens, yes I'm saying that if someone comes up and shoots you, it's your fault.

Now this may seem harsh to a lot of people. It seem harsh to me when I first heard the concept, but it is the truth. Everything that happens because of an energy relationship and our karma. Maybe that person shot you because unknown to either of you, you shot and killed him in World War II. Alternatively, he might have shot you in World War I. It is likely that the two of you have been wronging each other for several life times. As soon as realise that the reason "bad" things happen to you is because of something you've done you can really do something about it.

The fact is that you will relive your past karma until you do something about it. The first step is recognizing that the problem is inside not out. Then you can look inward for the root cause. Use what you feel as your guide. Recognize that they are the feels of a past life.

There is a lesson to be learn in almost everything we experience. If we stop blaming we can find the real causes to our problems and learn.

Spirit Guides

I figured it was time to touch base on the topic that my blog title would imply this site is about, Spirit Guides.

Spirit Guides do exist and people do have them, but not everyone has one. The purpose of a "good" spirit guide is not to "protect" form bad things in your life. Some people would have you believe that these entities are here only to save us from bad things that would hurt or other wise kill us. But, this is not the case. They may at some point step in and do something that appear to be this way but they would never step in the way of a lesson you need to learn or a Karma you needed to clear. They cannot protect you from your own thoughts and energies they bring to you. Spirit Guides are here to help you to find your truth.

It is likely that you will not have the same spirit guide for you entire life, or even have one for parts of your life. As I said they are here to help us learn and thus once we have learned what they are there to help us with, they will move on. There will also be lessons that we must learn on our own, or is to our benefit to learn on our on. As we grow spiritually our ability to communicate with spirit guides and other higher beings increase, but they help they will provide decrease. It may seem odd that as we are able to better communicate with these higher beings that they do less for us. They do this because we are better able to do things for ourselves and the only way to continue to grow is for them to do less for us.

So what is a spirit guide? Well in simplest for they are an entity here to guide use. As you might have noticed above I referred to "good" spirit guides, this is because there are several different types of spirit guides.

Good Spirit Guides: are the higher selves of other people, either dead or living. As crazy as it sounds your spirit guide could be the higher self of someone living, but this is rare. These higher selves have become what some would consider Angels.

Neutral Spirit Guides: despite my choice in terms neutral spirit guides are not harmless. These spirit guides are discarnates or ghosts who have chosen not to move on; in some cases because they wish to stay behind and "help" someone. In most of these cases they do little to help themselves or the person they are trying to help. These people have not learn enough to be helpful as a spirit guide and they will end up interfering more in the persons development than they will help it progress. These types of spirit guides should be asked to leave and directed to move on to where they can get the help they need.

Malicious Spirit Guides: these usually take the form of sub astrals but can take the form of discarnates. These entities say that they are trying to help but in reality are purposely hindering the persons spiritual progress and in most cases are pulling it down and destroying their spirituality. These types of spirit guides must be instructed to leave and return to where they cam from. Their mere presence is an attack on your soul and spirituality.

The point of this sight is to be none of the above. I am not here to teach or to claim that what I write is the only truth. My purpose is to publish my beliefs and in a hope that it might help others and guide them to their spiritual truth.

Roll up the Rim to Greed

Today's post is going to be a little different. I want to post on an event that is happening and the spiritual impact of it on those involved.

As most Canadian's will know, every year Tim Horton's (likely our largest coffee donut shop) hold a contest called Roll up the Rim to Win. Last week a girl found a cup in the garbage that had not been check. She tried to roll up the rim but could not. She then asked a friend to help her. It turns out the cup won, and not a small prize but one of the grand prizes, an SUV. Now the girls families are fighting over who should get the SUV. Then as can be expected people are stepping forward saying that the cup was theirs. Now I'm not going to go into who I think has a claim and who does not, that just adds to the negative energies involved, but that does bring me to the point I'd like to make.

This situation demonstrates how many people let greed and materialism control their lives. It is a very hard thing to fight against, how many of us would not fight over a $30,000 prize? But in doing so, we incur karma. Karma in that increases our connection to this the physical world and to physical things. Karma against the other family the people that we are attacking both in action and in thought. In all likely hood these two groups have been fighting over something for many past lives and will continue until at least one of those involved breaks the cycle.

If we are to grow spiritual we must learn to let go of our material wants, that doesn't mean we don't buy a house for our family it means that we see it for what it is; a physical dwelling to protect our family. It is not a status symbol or something to be treasured.

There are also a lot of people, who are talking about this, and I have been guilty of this, but I am working my way out. By talking about it I don't mean like I am now, but with judgement. Deciding who is right and who is wrong. When we case a judgement on someone or something we create what is call a thought form. A thought form is an energy that contains our judgements and that attacks those we judge, but it also attacks us, maybe not at the moment but it will come back, as we are incurring Karma. Once we create the thought we feed it and it grows; sometimes, like in this case, other join us in similar thoughts and their thought forms join with ours to make a more powerful thought form. It continues to grow as more and more people start feeding it. This is the reason why it can be so hard not to get swept up into mob mentality or public opinion. The thought forms can become so large that people get trapped in them.

We must be care what we thing, because despite what you might think, just because you don't say something doesn't mean it does do any harm. It is our thoughts that give life to the thought forms not our words. It is a hard thing to do, recognize when you are having negative thoughts, but as you catch yourself, realise that the are negative and do not feed them. Over time, maybe a long time, you will teach yourself that these thoughts are not acceptable to you and you won’t start down that path at all.

We should also consider what this is teaching those two young girls. If we want our children to be spiritual we must make sure we teach them the right things. For me that doesn't mean teaching my son to believe what I believe on a spiritual level but to show them what is right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable through my actions. Let’s not teach our children that greed is OK and material things are what matters.

The Psychic Body

In yesterdays post I briefly mentioned the psychic body. The psychic body is one the three spiritual elements of who we are. The soul or the higher self is at the top and the psychic body is the first structure above our physical bodies.

Our psychic bodies act as the direct supporting structure of our body. It is created when we are conceived that grows and develops into childhood. During this time the past lives and karma that are to be dealt with in this life are "downloaded" from our mental self. This is one of the reasons why childhood can be such a traumatic time for a lot of people.

When we die if we do not let go of this life it is your psychic body that remains behind trapped here. These psychic bodies that remain on earth are what people call Ghosts; the term I have been taught is discarnate. Ideally when we die, we let go and our psychic body is integrated back into the mental and higher self.

All our illnesses, diseases, emotions, injuries, mental illnesses and negative events are directly linked to our psychic body and the karma and past lives within it. All of these things can be instantaneously healed, but finding the route cause of the illness, that past live, and releasing it / obtain a healing. In this way there are no incurable diseases. It is also here where we store the experiences of this life, positive or negative.

I have also mentioned sub-astrals previously and, made reference to them attaching themselves to you. It is to your psychic body that the sub-astrals attach themselves. I post at some point in the future more on sub-astrals; I think they warrant their own posting.

Again your psychic body is much more complex than outlined here. The purpose of this post, the previous post and like the next couple is to set the ground work for further discussion. I need to first outline what your spiritual self is, then I will get into how we can interact with it.
